AFAIK that's mostly a GNOME issue, so despite it wrongly, IMO, being the default and the most popular DE of the Linux distros for some reason, I wouldn't throw mud on the whole Linux DE ecosystem because of it alone.
KDE, LXQT, LXDE and XFCE seem to have their shit together for the most part.
- zinekeller 5y agoKDE ain't too, unfortunately, and really unrelated to Qt. I'm using Plasma right now, but that transition was rough, and unrelated to it's refresh.
- ChuckNorris89 5y agoWould you mind detailing why you think KDE isn't? I'm no fanboy and have no dog in this DE fight, just curious.
- zinekeller 5y agoIf you wrote without KDE dependencies and your distro did include the correct Qt version, there's no problems at all (apart from edge-case bugs). But KDE3 to KDE4 and KDE4 to KDE5 (Plasma) was associated with a whole change, similar to Mozilla's Firefox's "Daylight", "Quantum", and "Australis" and web extensions, and associated behavioural relearings.
- ChuckNorris89 5y agoI thought we were talking about the present situation of KDE, not about past history.
